Does this make any sense and if so, what do I have to do to upgrade.

thanks.

To upgrade to 3.5 i would reccomend using either the live DVD or entopy.

To upgrade from the live dvd just run the installer and then choose upgrade and your installation.

To upgrade via entropy, use equo

Code: Select all

# equo update
# equo world

if you are not a seasoned veteran - DO NOT attempt to world upgrade a 3.4 install - it will take days and than more days to fix the breakages and a few more days to get it booting, pretty soon a month will go by and you will be so ticked off you'll ignite your computer on fire which will in turn burn down your house and than you will be arrested for arson.

It's just not worth it. Even equo isn't for the faint of heart for 3.4

equo don't come with 3.4 and you also have to specify branch

thanks Wolfden. I certainly dont want to burn my computer, even though I sometimes feel like it so I will download the latest version of the OS and upgrade that way. much obliged for the quick response and advice.

There is only the 3.5 branch atm which is used by default, didnt 3.4e + f contain entropy anyway?

[wolfden]

it only had app-admin/equo-9999-r2 and with 3.4 u have to specify branch
